How it works in three steps:

Download the free Total Commander app for Android.
Install the free company’s USB plug-in for Android.
Connect macOS or Windows-formatted disks or thumb sticks via USB cable. The app automatically detects the file system, prompting you to mount the storage device. The app offers a two-day trial mode, after which time the user is required to purchase access to the required file system, or unlock all file systems at once.

NTFS USB Android is based on the company’s Universal File System Driver (UFSD) technology, which enables any device to communicate and share files, regardless of OS. Beyond access, this technology provides the high data throughput speeds – equivalent to, or exceeding, native performance.

NTFS USB Android works in tandem with Total Commander, a free cross-platform file manager app available for download on the Google Play Store.

It is also available as a free download.

Users can unlock the required file system individually or as a pack via in-app purchase:
